As far as I understand you cannot download the SDK separately - and even if you could, I wouldn't recommend it. Using the bundled SDK+Xcode release is the best idea in my opinion, as it will be working for you out of the box. I know it's annoying having to download such a large amount of data for an SDK (not all of us have 100mbps pipes to play with!) but for ease of development, it's the way I'd recommend you go.

For those who have installed Xcode but do not have the iOS SDK, here is the way to download it without re-downloading Xcode: Got to

Xcode > Preferences > Downloads

and select whatever you want to install.
